If I switch from Active Duty to Reservist will I maintain the ability to give my children my GI bill?

I am an active duty service member with 9 years in. I am open to the idea of finishing my Army career in the reserves while working a civilian position. The main issue keeping me from doing this is that I was told that I would not be able to transfer my GI Bill to my dependent if I left active duty service. Recently I heard information to the contrary so I thought I would come here and ask.

You are able to transfer your Post 9-11 GI Bill to your children as long as you have 4 years left on your service contract. You would be able to either conduct a reenlistment, or an extension, to ensure you have enough service time and able to make the GI Bill transfer happen.

Post 911 GI Bill.....not your Chapter 30 GI Bill. I figured you already knew that, but better state the obvious.

There is a difference between the Montgomery GI Bill and the Post 9-11 GI Bill. The Mongomery GI Bill, last I knew, is non-transferrable. The Post 9-11 GI Bill is the only one -transferrable to dependants.
